Remove the sight glass. Then GENTLY massage the area around the hole with a hammer. Go slow and easy. Work the top of the hole inward till it is parallel with the side of the keg. Worked for me! Hope I helped! Kevin

Sorry girl!

OK, goin to the LHBS today to get a new recipe. Ill work on the water thing, thanx guys. Kevin

ok That evil store that begins with a W sells water filters that can be used with your standard hose connections. Would one of those be sufficient?
